Drake “Falling Back” Song Breakdown
In verse 1, Drake raps about self-discovery and his desire to determine what would work for him in a relationship. He also raps about resisting going back to a lover who doesn’t feel the same way for him and is not committed to the relationship. This lover according to Drake feels that over time, what Drake feels for her would gradually wipe off.
In the chorus, “Falling back on me” it is not clear what the rapper may be insinuating. Here are 4 things he may be implying
Falling back on me may imply that his lover ends up coming back to him for help when in difficulty even though she doesn’t love him the way he does and is not committed to the relationship.
Falling back on me may imply that his lover can’t live without him because he is wealthy. If she leaves, she would be the one to lose everything.
Falling back on me may imply that Drake has over time realized that he is the one responsible/to be blamed for the failed relationships and not the women he dated. He is not a good lover. In the latter part of the chorus, he said “What would you do without me? I think you would lose everything.” That’s the tone of pride.
Falling back on me may imply that he is now depending on himself or falling back on himself for help rather than his lady who broke his heart, or anyone else.

Drake “Falling Back ” Lyrics
Intro
I will wait for you, for you
Ay, yo
Ay, ay
Oh oh oh
Verse 1
Finding myself
Showing myself
Finding a way to stay outta the way
Holding me back
Supposed to come right back
Guarding myself while I’m all on display
I know you know all about it
I know, deep down, you feel the same
I know you know how I feel
I know you know how I feel
How do I, how do I feel? How do I feel?
How do you say to my face, “Time heals”?
Then go and leave me again, unreal
I see us fading away
I’m still holding my breath for the day that you will
See that the effort I make is too real
How can you say that you know how I feel?
Ayy, we
How can you say you know what I’m feeling? Wait
Know what I’m feeling, wait
You don’t feel nothing, wait
Nothing is healing, wait
Time is just killing, wait
How can you say? Wait
You know what I’m feeling, wait
Know what I’m feeling, wait
You don’t feel nothing, wait
Time isn’t healing, wait
Time is revealing, wait
How are you feeling? Wait
You don’t feel nothing


Interlude
Me eeeee
Me eeeee
Chorus
Just like I expected, falling back on me
Falling with I, falling back on me
Falling back on me, falling back on me
Falling back on mе, falling back on me
Falling back on me, falling back on me
Falling back on mе, falling back on me
Falling back on me, falling back on me
Falling back on me, falling back on me
Falling back on me, falling back on me
Falling back on me, falling back on me
Falling back on me, falling back on me
What would you do without me?
What would you do without me?
I think you would lose everything
Fallin’ back on me
Outro
Wherever you are, you don’t test
